    Interior Thoughts on bumpers, spare tire carrier & tire size...

    Trying to wrap up Phase 1 of my 1979 CJ7 rehab, and my target is to wind up with a lightly modified but largely faithful restoration. Mods i am open to are safety related, or intended to correct original Jeep issues, but really not looking to build a wheeling rig, and just plan to putz around...

    Lift Kits Need to un-:dung: previous owner lift kit

    Acquired a 1979 CJ7 with 35x12.5s and a fairly tall combination of shackles and body lift. Nothing appears to have been done correctly, and rides horribly with tons of wander and sway. Has 4 spacers (total of 2") in body. Various components appear to be incorrectly angled or spaced due to...

    Diff Wagoneer/Scout Axles and 33s

    I am working on my axle build (shoutout to @coldair for sourcing my front axle) and have most of the parts (see the list below for the plan). My concern is the lift, width, and tire size looking funny. Is anyone running 60" axles on 33x10.50's? I would switch to 35s but I don't want to cut my...

    Lift Kits Lift kit size???

    So I scored another CJ7 yesterday for 600. It has a lift kit on it but not sure what size 2” or 4” it has. Springs have no stickers. Was wondering if there is a way to find out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spring over Axle Lift

    I have a 1983 CJ7 that I purchased last September. It's been a project restoration that I'm in the process of replacing just about everything. It's coming along nicely through. I am wanting to tackle the suspension as the leaf springs are worn and flat. I'm looking to replace the springs and...

    New to me 85 CJ5 what kind of lift do I have

    Just bought an 85cj5. Im trying to figure out if it has any type of suspension or body lift. Do you guys have any points I can measure to tell me what stock should be and then I can measure mine to tell me if its stock or if there is any lift? I was thinking maybe from top of axel to frame...

    Centering Rear Wheel after Lift

    Is there a way to center the rear wheel in the wheel well after installing a lift? I have a 4" BDS lift and even after settling the rear tire is pushed toward the rear and rubs during articulation.

    Lift?

    I've been looking at the CJ and it seems much higher than usual. The P.O. said there was no lift, but I have some doubts. I've attached a photo from the side, it is sitting on 31s. I've also counted 7 leaf springs on each side of each axle, if that matters.

    CJ-7 Original Shackles and new lift kit

    I'm planning to install a Skyjacker 2.5" lift kit on my 1977 CJ-7. The vehicle has the original suspension (leaf springs and shackles), although the tires had been upgraded to 33x12.5x15 by the PO. I haven't taken the vehicle into any serious off-road situation but feel certain that the tires...

    73 cj5 lift and wheel bearing questions

    I am bringing a 73 Cj5 back to life. Can anybody educate me on how the suspension was setup? I am trying to determine the type of lift on this thing. Right now it is clearing 33x9.50r15 tires. It has 9-10 leafsprings, but that is all I can tell. Also, how hard is it to replace the wheel...

    Rough Country lift Problems

    I install a RC 4" lift on my 80 CJ7. I believe the front axle is a 77 or 78 though. I took it out for a quick drive to see how stiff it was going to ride. When I got back, i was looking at the springs and they had been hitting the tie rod and connecting rod. The end link grease fitting on the...

    Need to lift front about 1.5"....

    I just want to level the body. So how do you lift the front without screwing up the caster? Body lift spacers? It seems to me that when you add shackle length, all you're doing is rolling the axle back up under the knuckle. It seems like you'd need some sort of "shackle" at the back of the leaf...

    2.5 inch lift - what needs to be done?

    Do all the stock pieces work with a 2.5 inch spring lift? Brake lines, drive shafts... etc? If not, what needs to be changed? As it is, my CJ5 sits tilted down on the drivers side. I'm guessing that's from 40 years of a driver and not many passengers. If I'm going to put new springs on it...

    Shackle size on 4" lift springs -opinions?

    Hello everyone, my first post on the forum but my 2nd CJ build. This is the first problem I've ran into that I can't solve with the search feature. Have a look at the picture below. I've seen several folks say they ran stock shackles with a 4" leaf lift successfully but I cant help but feel...

    Driveshaft vibration with 2" lift

    Driveline vibration with 2" lift Hi, I have a 1984 CJ-7 with a 2" lift and a new driveshaft - all done by a 4WD shop. After the lift/shaft were installed, I discovered a slight drivetrain vibration. I mentioned this to the shop and got the answer that "vibrations happen" and it'll be very hard...
